Head on (Hold on to Your Heart)

There's a knock at your door You don't even recognize the stranger It's you from before Trying to warn you all about the dangers There's a hole in your head At least, that's what everybody's guessing It's why you're always misread It's why you sleep, but you never feel rested You never get your rest in Hold on to your heart Hold it high above floodwaters Hold on to your heart Never let nobody drag it under Hold on to your heart Even when your body's bitter Hold on to your heart Never let nobody take it over Ever take it over Ever take it over from you There's a call on the phone You don't even recognize the number It's an old episode of trying to put the lightning on the monster Of the life you have led, that is always a mess Are you dreaming of death? Are there ghosts in your chest? Are you always so restless? Yes, you are, is that hard? Hold on to your heart Hold it high above floodwaters Hold on to your heart Never let nobody drag it under Hold on to your heart Even when your body's bitter Hold on to your heart Never let nobody take it over Ever take it over Ever take it over from you Is it all a game of bait, and switch your brains And follow your leaders to hell? Is it all the same in vein, in love insane, is drinking from a poisoned well? And I need new skin for this old skeleton of mine 'Cause this one that I'm in, let me down once again over time And I need new skin for this old skeleton of mine 'Cause, this one that I'm in, has let me down once again over time Hold on to your heart Hold it high above floodwaters Hold on to your heart Never let nobody drag it under Hold on to your heart Even when the whole world's bitter Hold on to your heart Never let nobody take it over Ever take it over Ever take it over Ever take it over Ever take it over Ever take it over Ever take it over from you
